To get these key messages across, the Commission has developed a
series of illustrated germs which will be used across a range of clinician-
and public-facing resources.
From 10 September, district health boards (DHBs) and other providers
will be able to place orders for resources, including posters targeting
staff and consumers available in English, te reo Māori, Samoan, Tongan,
Hindi and Simplifed Chinese. Colouring-in sheets for children are also
available. These can be left in waiting rooms and other public areas, and
during PSW 2018 consumers can submit their entry via social media to be
in with a chance of winning a prize.
DHBs will also be receiving a ‘comms kit’ in the lead-up to PSW 2018,
so keep an eye out for infuenza, e-coli and their cartoon germ friends
appearing around your staff room, intranet and social media feeds in the
coming weeks.
A competition for school children is already underway, with students
in years 5--8 encouraged to create a poster highlighting either antibiotic
resistance or hand washing. Four regional winners will be announced
during PSW 2018 and an overall national winner selected. Minister
of Health Dr David Clark has already thrown his support behind the
campaign, recently visiting a school in Dunedin to promote the poster
competition and the key themes of PSW 2018.
Orders for resources are only open from 10 to 26 September, so make
sure your workplace doesn’t miss out – we want to get the whole sector
involved!
